GHalf got the shingles vaxi about four years ago. At that time insurance paid nothing unless the insured was 60 or older, so we had to pay full price: $250 IIRC

I got the vaxi last year. No longer an age restriction so insurance paid the full cost.

No side effects for him, but my arm turned red and it ITCHED horribly for a few days.

Three people I know have had shingles. One (male) had a mild case but the other two (both women) said it was extremely painful.
